If you hate the Legends kitbashes...you should be glad you don't collect G.I.Joe. Hasbro's tendency to go cheap these past few years caused me to finally drop the lone altogether, and I was all things Joe for years...

You might not like the Hydra pack, but I found tremendous value in them. I was able to use the extra heads for other figures (tweaked the scarred flattop for Eddie Brock/Venom, and the bald one also makes a good one Brock/Anti-Venom, since he was growing his hair back after Mr. Negative cured his cancer.) The extra weapons are also great for customizing and if army building just isn't your thing, the Hydra Soldier works great for giving Red Skull a different look in a pinch.

I picked up one of those Hydra 2-Packs a week or so ago, but I just couldn't pull the trigger. I even had a coupon with me at the time but I sat it back down on the shelf. If I had picked one up though I would have tried to sculpt lenses on the bald, unmasked Brute head and painted a mask over the rest of it. I like the idea of the 2-pack and all the extra guns would have been cool, but those alternate heads kinda killed it for me. Some all-new generic Hydra Soldier heads with different expressions would have sealed the deal for me and doesn't seem like much to ask considering the rest of that set is repacked/kitbashed stuff.

I lucked out and managed to find several of the Hydra Soldiers from the Mandroid wave a few years ago and I'm just going to stick with them.
